no, i'd just install xcode, it should come on your leopard installation CD.
it's a package you can install.

EDIT: i've noted this issue and we'll see if we can find a fix for this in the next update.

yeah it should.
are there any other users that can confirm the release works on 8000 series cards ?

Works on GTS 8800 512MB and 8800 GT 512 MB with no problems.. (both capability 1.1 )
I think I've cornered the problem - when I first downloaded CUDA 3.0, they didn't have drivers for notebook computers. I'm downloading the Notebook Developer Drivers for Win 7 64-bit now and will let you know, but this is likely my problem.

cgbeige,

any reason you're not? It's faster than 10.5.

But as Radiance pointed out, you can install X11 for 10.5 as well from the Extras folder of the OS X install DVD.

If I add a bump map as a floatimage, and then change the scale with a float it only scales the y axis, if I add a float2 it shows x axis 1 and y axis 0.1 as I try to change the y the program crashes

is you're object propperly uv mapped ?
does this also happen if you put the same floatimage on say the diffuse channel ?

another reason to get Snow Leopard: Quicktime Pro is included and can be used to make frame sequences into movies.

yeah I know ... Thats why beta exists to solve this kind of twisted weird and sadistic mysteries of computers!! eheheh!

I've just re-tried to install the previous version ( OctaneRender 1.02beta2 ), just to see if with all the stuff that I did anything blocked...
and is working just fine ( apart the other bugs already related in the forum ).

it comes from the new release... or something is missing in my machine...

Lets keep trying !!!!! :ugeek:
